Common questions
Here you'll find answers to some of the most common questions about Weekly Fellowship — what it is, who it's for, and how to get started.
Starting Weekly Fellowship
What is Weekly Fellowship?
Weekly Fellowship is a program that helps believers gather as a group. It includes sections for worship, the message, and practical exercises — giving you a structure you can use to meet together, share life, and stay active in your faith.
Who is Weekly Fellowship for?
Weekly Fellowship is designed for Christians, though people who don't yet believe in Christ are very welcome to join. It's especially helpful for those who don't know other believers or don't have a church to attend — wherever you are, in Iran, in Europe, or anywhere else.
Is Weekly Fellowship a meeting I can sign up for and attend?
There's no sign-up. You simply gather a few friends or family members and use the resources we provide to meet together. The fellowship belongs to you and your group.
Why do we need fellowship?
As Christians we need to share our faith together, listen to one another, and build each other up. Hebrews 10:24–25 calls us to gather — and when we do, we become more present and effective for the community around us. Fellowship isn't optional; it's a vital part of the Christian life.
I'm new to faith — can I host Weekly Fellowship?
If you're new to faith, it's better to start by being discipled and receiving teaching first. After that, you can use the Kalameh app to access Weekly Fellowship resources and form your own group. If you're part of a church, share Kalameh with your leaders and use the resources together. If not, reach out — we'd love to help guide you.
Who can lead a Weekly Fellowship?
Any Christian who is eager to grow in their knowledge of Christ can lead. All you need is at least one friend or family member you can fellowship with.
How many people are usually in a Weekly Fellowship group?
We recommend keeping the group between 2 and 5 people. A smaller circle creates a more intimate space, and gives everyone the chance to share and discuss together.
How do I start a Weekly Fellowship?
The basics: you're a Christian, you've been walking in your faith for a while, and you're being discipled. If you already know other believers, gather with them and use the free Kalameh resources to form a Christian fellowship. If you don't know any other believers, start with your family and friends — share Christ with them, and build the group from there.
Running Weekly Fellowship
Do I need to follow the format exactly?
The structure in the files has been refined through years of real-world fellowship in different parts of the world. It's been prayed over and proven fruitful — so we encourage you to follow it. It helps you stay aligned with the purpose of each gathering and makes the best use of your time together.
Are the weekly practical exercises important?
James 1:22 reminds us to be doers of the Word, not hearers only. The practical exercises are the lived, experiential side of the teaching and message — your chance to put into practice what you've learned during the week.
How do I keep side conversations from taking over?
The goal is for everyone to participate, but it's easy to drift off-topic. A few suggestions: start on time and follow the schedule. If a side question or topic comes up, lovingly set it aside and offer to return to it at another time.
How do we create a safe space for new people?
People who are new are often wrestling with very different thoughts and feelings. Give them room. Sit with them. Take their questions seriously. Answer with real love — not long speeches — and if you don't know, simply say you'll find out and follow up. Love them as they are.
Is in-person fellowship necessary?
Faith is a personal belief, but spiritual growth happens in community. Hebrews 10:25 tells us not to give up meeting together. In-person fellowship is where we can be present with other believers, grow, and bear fruit.
Our group has grown — what should we do?
What a beautiful blessing. Through prayer and discussion, and depending on group size, you can split into two or more smaller groups. Each one can continue meeting in person on its own.
